I'm a new farmer with an indoor fish pond of 10x3x3ft, 5x3x3, 3x3x3, 5x3x3ft concrete and tiled to give extra protection on the connecting walls to the building.
I have read thru some of the thread and I find them enlightening, I would appreciate advice on maximum num of fish I can stock and also guide on proper and profitable management

Catfish scarcity due to recent increase in fish feeds.... Time to stick to increase in price of fish my pple so dat our businesses can remain viable in this harsh economic setting. We are not running a charity organization, we should and must be able to live comfortably from proceeds of our farms.
Anywhere u are just sing the song #jalejaleN600perKilo
(N. B. PLZ SELL HIGHER THAN THIS PRICE IF U CAN)

adhere to this advice. If other goods & services increase their prices & you dont do the same in relation to realities on ground, your business suffers.

So if dem dey call you for village, no use stubborness go oooh(Laugh)
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aoladayo(m): 10:22pm On Jun 08, 2016
Don't wash with detergent wash with a lot of clean water and foam not sponge so I learnt from a guide I read and also from a senior fish farmer, as u don't want to introduce the chemicals in the detergent in Ur pond, the manure is to send nutrients to the wall and environs of Ur pond, drain out, wash with foam not sponge and clean water then pump in water and leave for 24hr flush out and u already to pump and stock...

What do U mean by "a neaby bush water"? Are you refering to a stream or a dam? If yes, I'll say YES!!! But there. Must be a CAUTION to be sure that the water isn't polluted. Firstly, ensure that you analys the water to. Be sure of its quality. You can also try to get ZEOLITE to filter/clean all the water that enters your pond from such source so as to guide against infection and pollution.

Wishing you all the very best!!!

initially many things had gone wrong,due to your management. If all you do is just struggling to maintain them without any significant growth,i would advice u sell off as melange & start afresh.The container or pond type isn't the problem,it could happen in all pond type.Management is key to reduce or prevent disease outbreak/death. Watch your feeding,pollution,water change.Even water can be polluted in a day,if u overfeed & could create stress(as in the hanging),those fishes that peel can get new skin back if kept in clean water over time,but why labour when u can start

get the water source,is it ground water or waste water. Is it polluted or normal. Is it habitat for reptiles,so you know how or what to do to eradicate them. Is it just another stagnant water? Not all spots supports good growth.
